Questions

What are good this or that questions? +

Good ones are quick to answer but easy to argue about, like “pineapple on pizza or ketchup on pasta?” or “early bird or night owl?”. Mix easy picks with a few that reveal something about the person.

How do you play this or that? +

One person reads two options and everyone picks one, out loud or by pointing left or right. Ask one or two people to explain their choice, then move on. You can also play the free online version, which has a two-player matching mode.

Are these this or that questions OK for kids and work? +

The kids, work and Christmas sections are clean and safe for classrooms and team meetings. The couples section is sweet and a little flirty, not explicit.

What is the difference between this or that and would you rather? +

This or that asks for a quick preference between two normal things. Would you rather usually gives two harder or stranger options. Many groups play both in one night.
